Listened to "The Whistler" on RadioClassics today with an episode starring Mary Lansing, our Martha Clark. Do some research on Mary. You'll find her radio years to be fascinating. Dan Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Official Verifications
Watching all the football games this week and couldn't help but notice all the times the game was stopped, the referee put on some headphones, and the whole stadium sits around waiting on the official verification.

Name change
After some deep research, some of which involved law enforcement, I discovered that Ken Anderson wasn't his birth name, he had it legally changed some years ago. Seems he was born "Hoadie Snitch." I guess that explains a lot. Dan Sent from my iPad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
